Can you believe it's been seven years since Dani Dyer first graced our screens?
And no we're not talking about her time on Love Island, we're of course talking about when she starred on Survival of the Fittest back in 2018.
She had a short but sweet (and very painful) stint on the show before she appeared on series four of Love Island and well, the rest is history.
Ahead of her wedding to her footballer boyfriend Jarrod Bowen we've done a deep dive into all things Dani...
What happened when Dani Dyer was on Survival of the Fittest?
Dani shot to fame when she appeared on ITV2 show Survival of the Fittest but she was forced to leave due to injury. At the time, an ITV spokesperson said, 'Dani injured her shoulder during the recording of a challenge.
'She was attended to by on site medics and taken to hospital as a precautionary measure. As Survival Of The Fittest involves physical challenges which she wouldn't be able to take part in, Dani isn't in a position to be able to return to The Lodge and will therefore leave the show.'
Dani also wrote on Instagram, 'I am truly heartbroken that I have had to leave The Lodge. I dislocated my shoulder and am currently in a sling so for health and safety I wasn’t able to do the challenges 😩 such a Dani thing to do.
'Thank you for all of your support it means the world to me and more ❤ xxxxxx.'
That wasn't the end of her reality TV career though...
When was Dani Dyer on Love Island?
Dani was given another chance at stardom when she entered the Love Island villa in the summer of 2018 - just four months after bowing out of Survival of the Fittest.
Entering the show on day one, Dani coupled up with Jack Fincham and despite the few hiccups they had (more on that in a sec), they went on to win the show.
What happened when Dani Dyer was on Love Island?
Dani had a fairly easy go of things during her stint. She was pals with everyone and coupled up with Jack on day one, however during Casa Amor the producers threw a spanner in the works in the form of Jack's ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones.
To make matters worse, they then showed the OG girls a video clip of the boys in Casa - including Jack's reaction to Ellie's arrival - and Dani instantly broke down in tears.
'It always happens to me, as soon as I'm happy with someone, something happens to me, it's like I'm not allowed to be happy.
'Imagine it's some girl that he's been recently seeing, he clearly has feelings if he was seeing her and now she's in here,' she told the girls.
In the beach hut, she then told producers, 'Jack looked so shocked in the video, saying, "Oh my God, oh my God" - alright mate, do you want to say, ‘Oh my God' one more time? I just knew it was too good to be true.'
Her emotional scenes caused a lot of backlash with Ofcom receiving 2,500 complaints.
On a slightly funnier note though, Dani and Jack had a row following the infamous lie detector test and after the Essex babe threatened to walk out he replied, 'What? What time's your flight tomorrow.'
LOL.
Dani also defended BFF Georgia Steel amid kiss-gate and was stunned when the lie detector test revealed that Jack Fowler WAS telling the truth.
When did Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham split?
Despite winning series four of the show, moving in together and landed their own TV show - Dani and Jack hit a rocky patch in December 2018 and she announced they'd split. However just days later, Dani confirmed they were actually still together and they'd just had an argument.
Fast forward to April 2019 and Dani and Jack confirmed they'd split for good this time. Jack confirmed the news on Instagram, saying, 'There is no easy way to say this and it isn't going to be an easy time but me and Dani are not in a relationship anymore.'

He continued, 'We will always care a lot for each other and I mean that from the bottom of my heart and I wish her nothing but happiness.
'We have some amazing memories together and have been through a lot but sometimes things just aren't meant to be and we really did try and make it work but unfortunately didn't and that is life.
'That's all I have to say, a break up is hard enough as it is for both of us let alone in the public eye so I hope everyone is considerate and understands this.'
Did Dani Dyer cheat on Jack Fincham?
Despite a number of rumours, and Jack hinting that Dani had cheated on him, Dani furiously hit back, denying the claims. After a user on Twitter accused her of 'pretending to love Jack' while she 'still loved' her ex, Dani replied and said, 'You know nothing. Please put your story away'.
Who is Dani Dyer's ex-boyfriend?
Just weeks after splitting from Jack, Dani was papped kissing her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence.
Shortly after, they went Instagram official and a year later (July 2020), Dani announced they were expecting their first child together.
They then welcomed their son Santiago into the world in January 2021 but six months later they split after Sammy was sentenced to three and a half years in jail for defrauding two pensioners.
